Hi!...My band Silence The Earth, was rejected due to lack of "metalness", I think that this is wrong. My aim is to make BM with some ambient interludes, just as Demonoir by 1349. So I think that the reason for blacklist STE haven't make any sense.

Well... actually, it does. If the only release that 1349 had ever released was "Demonoir", you can bet they'd be blacklisted too. (Although that album actually still has more metal tracks than interludes, really... hopefully you get what I'm trying to say, here...)

A band needs one predominantly metallic album, and if there's too many ambient interludes, it's considered an ambient act with metallic songs, not the other way around. Sorry.

Hope that this finally works

Cheers!!!:)

Do you have a new release with new material? Otherwise you're wasting both your time and ours, since you were given an answer back in July.

Just a quick suggestion, BlackOne: include some links so the mods don't have to go Googlin' for your stuff. It makes things easier for everyone, as mods will be more inclined to check your shit out faster if you have links ready to be clicked.

I have loaded a band "bid zogo"and they have told me that it's hardcore music (O_o???) when is not hardcore...I have read well the rule!!!! I have seen so many bands with similar sound loaded in metal archives.I would want to have valid motivations of this rejectionthanks

I have tried to add them because they are friendsI know that is not 100% real Metal but they are not mallcore/fashion poser XD in some song they have machine head influence... no problem thank you for the answer metantoine...the next band will be' more careful stay evil !!

Fire to Fields: Sludge [note: I'm assuming he means more on the hardcore end than the sludge/doom one... Alhadis, do you remember?]Scarlet Hollow: I've heard heavier from the Celtic Women.Red Lamb: "Alternative Metal"

No notes about Ravenscry, Those Who Lie Beneath, sorry.

you can debate the actual date that metal began, but a fairly agreed upon date is 1969. Metal is almost 25 years old

Why Iron maiden is there? It's very far to be metal than a lot of some metal band.

After previous contact with the former band member Ivan Vee, from Хлад, I have found out that he has no plan to ever release any physical copy of his music, and I added that to the submission. My chances have run out, and I know for sure that Хлад is real. Is this really it?

I attempted to submit Runnica, and it was rejected. I provided at least one picture of a physical medium. I provided an official site. I provided their current label and members, and all albums that have been released so far. What am I missing?

When the picture is not a real picture but something created digitally, it's not going to work. I couldn't find the album on any of Nitroatmosfericum's sites. Provide a link to that.

"Core. Not a metal band; does not belong on Encyclopaedia Metallum. Please read our rules next time to see what qualifies as metal."

Please review our submission rules before trying to re-submit it.

Keep in mind that all modifications are logged; if this band has been rejected before, the moderators will know, so do not try to resubmit without revising your submission.

If you want to object to this rejection, please do so in the appropriate thread in the "Suggestions and Complaints" sub-forum.

So I just want to tell that INSIDE I is indeed metal. More like Melodeath/Metalcore but certainly more metal than core. Just listen to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IFIFYJbvBs. You will sure hear some deathcore oriented moshparts but for the mosrt, this is melodic Death Metal. Period.

The whole album isn't available on stream so this is about what you'll get but virtually everyone who review this album describes them as metal, just see for yourself:

Well, the entire point of objecting to a rejection is to rise the subject once more and I repeat myself: INSIDE I is a Melodic Death Metal band, strongly influenced by the Gothenburg sound that adds the odd mosh part in order to spice their music. I Have no Idea why they were rejected on the first place but honest, is the following song metal or not ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnPgACn_KJo

It's pure Gothenburg style plain and simple (listen to the passage at 1,30 for example)

I understand the fact that the whole album not being on stream, might be in fact more core than Metal but just look at all the review I submitted on my previous post: All of them are unanimous, INSIDE I does Metal, and none of them even use the word "core". Damn, even Season of Mist describes it as MeloDeath: http://e-shop.season-of-mist.com/en/bands/inside-i/8658

So Please, one last time, would you consider changing your decision and if not, why ? As simple as that.

Dude. Give it up. You've been given your answer - twice now. Okay? Season of Mist can describe the music as brutal thrash metal and it still won't make a difference. Labels use all sorts of descriptors to sell their music, and the term "melodeath" is obviously going to sell a lot better to the metal scene than the dreaded "metalcore" word is.

Now to be fair, the music did have fairly prominent melodic death sections, but the majority of it was padded out by long djenty sections that pretty much dominated the songwriting. You can argue otherwise, but this site has to draw a careful line around the wretched "-core" territory, and it just so happens to be that this band is sitting too closely to the fence for us to feel comfortable admitting it to the site.

So, I wanted to add Nocturnal Bloodlust, a Japanese band, since I searched for them and didn't find them here. The message about them being blacklisted appear and I was wondering why, maybe it's because of their sound, but I'm still kind of confused. I read the rules and I hope that you could tell me why it was rejected or blacklisted so that I know when I want to add a band in the future. Thanks and great site btw.
